Have Opinions, Will Eat

It’s all about the food at the new-ish Avoca food market and Salt CafĂ© in Monkstown – I could say the same about being a Bridgestone Guides editor…


Spud Sunday: Boxty On The Menu

There was boxty aplenty at a cookery demo in Gallaghers Boxty House, which included boiled, baked and pan versions of the traditional Irish potato dish, and a lunch menu featuring different versions of boxty for all 3 courses


Spud Sunday: Skinflint Saturday

This weekend was all about meeting restaurateur Joe Macken and his grilled pizzas at Skinflint (and yes, I did have the potato pizza, sure what else would I have?)


Spud Sunday: Michelin Spuds

Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud marks 30 years in business with the launch of a new book and I, for my part, give their recipe for salmon with tandoori gnocchi and sorrel sauce a whirl.


West Cork Story

A visit to Inchydoney Island Lodge and Spa to sample their new West Cork menu? Don’t mind if I do…


Spud Sunday: The House Of Boxty

In which I pay a long overdue visit to Gallagher’s Boxty House in Temple Bar and learn more about boiled boxty, baked boxty and boxty pancakes
